I believe lobbying and ethics laws must be reformed; political fundraising must be transparent and donors must be publicly disclosed; and a system of citizen-funded elections must be installed.

I endorse all efforts to reverse the Supreme Court's decisions in the Citizens United and McCutcheon cases, and pledge to do all I can as a citizen to return control of my government to the hands of The People.

The Modern Whig Party of America does not accept donations from corporations, unions, or special interest groups.

The Whig tradition is among the oldest – and the purest – of American political philosophies. It’s emphasis on democratic values – the will of the majority tempered by a fundamental respect for the rights of the minority – and a rational, utilitarian approach to policy in a rapidly changing, evolving world is sorely missed in our current politics. It is the natural antidote to the extreme ideologues (and demagogues) that dominate the national political conversation.
